2Welcome from the Centre Manager
As the recently finished 2018 Commonwealth Games herald in the start of our
own competition year, we look forward to welcoming many new athletes and
their families inspired by the performances of the world’s best.
Little Athletics across Australia has nurtured some of our most successful track
and field athletes. Familiar names such Sally Pearson, Jana Pittman-Rawlinson,
John Steffensen, Steve Hooker and Melinda Gainsford-Taylor have won Olympic
and Commonwealth Laurels. Yet former little athletes include not just Track and
Field stars, but sporting icons across many different sports. Rugby Union greats
George Gregan and Matt Giteau, Rugby League star Jarrad Hayne, Cyclist Kathy
Watt, Brownlow medallists Simon Black and Garry Ablett Jr and Cricketers
Michael Bevan and Michael Witney lead a list of hundreds of famous Australians
who’ve participated in Little Athletics.
Closer to home, Queensland Reds and Australian under 20 player Campbell
Magnay still holds sprint records at our club.
Little Athletics is more than a pathway for track and field prowess, but an
opportunity to complement and enhance the exercise of speed, strength,
endurance and coordination across many sporting disciplines.
This year we are introducing a new competition program to the club starting at
the ground level with our under 6s which will hopefully develop them in all track
and field events as they make their journey into senior levels and beyond.
To be successful, our club needs your participation. Help us to make your child’s
experience of Little Athletics the best it can be, by learning how to officiate, by
guiding them as age marshals between different events, by helping in the setup
and pull down of the competition field, and/or by joining the City North
Management committee.
Whether Track and Field is your child’s passion, an opportunity for them to be
active, or whether it’s an off season sport to keep them active, our club
welcomes your participation.
David Fitzell
Centre Manager
3What is Little Athletics?
Little Athletics began in Victoria in 1964 and has since spread to all parts of
Australia, with more than 100,000 children registered throughout the country.
Little Athletics is based on the philosophy of Family, Fun, and Fitness.
Family – Family involvement plays a vital role in the success of Little Athletics.
The children are given a greater sense of pride when they see their parents
assisting with the program
Fun – The level of competition depends on what you, as a family, want to make.
Some children compete only at their own centre, while others aspire to State and
even National level. Each child should be encouraged to consider self-
improvement as his or her personal aim.
Fitness – Little Athletics encourages physical fitness through weekly competition.
It also encourages a healthy attitude towards winning and losing and the
responsibility of the members.
Further information can be obtained by visiting the Queensland Little Athletics
Association website at www.laq.org.au or at our website
www.citynorthlas.asn.au.
Background History
City North Little Athletics Club is an incorporated organisation affiliated with the
Queensland Little Athletics Association. The Club was formed in about 1985 as a
non-profit organisation administered entirely by a committee of volunteers. In
2011 we officially changed our name to City North Little Athletics – we were
originally known as Kedron Little Athletics.
The home ground of City North Little Athletics Club is Windsor Park, Grafton
Street Albion.
4Fees
The following fees will apply for the 2018/2019 season:
First and second Child $180 ($160.00 for U6s)
Each Child Thereafter $160 ($140.00 for U6s)
Arena and Field set up Volunteer Bonds $80.00 per family (paid at time of
registration)
The Arena Volunteer Bond is $50 and is refundable when parents/guardians
assist the club for 8 or more times during the season's Saturday competitions.
The Field set up and pull-down Volunteer Bond is $30 and is refundable if you
assist 3 or more times during the season.
You must sign the applicable Volunteer Roster, as these are the only records we
have that indicate you have helped.
Families who have an active member on our Committee are not required to pay
either Bond and are not required to fill out either weekly Volunteer Roster.
It is very important that you sign the applicable Volunteer Roster to be entitled to
receive the Bond/s refund, otherwise we will have no proof you have helped.
Proof of Age and Age Groups
Proof of Age must be provided within 28 days of registration. This can be in the
form of a birth or baptism certificate, or current passport.
5The Program
The 2018/2019 season commences on the 25th August 2018 with a "Come and
Try" day (which gives potential new members the chance to experience little
athletics) and runs through until the 11th March 2019 at Windsor Park with the
McDonald’s State Championships held from the 22nd – 24th March 2017 at
Townsville Sports Reserve, Townsville.
City North Little Athletics runs its club competition each Saturday afternoon from
2:30pm until approximately 5:00pm, with only a short break in December and
early January.
The first day of the season is a "Come and Try" day where both athletes from last
season and new athletes can participate. Formal recording of results of all
registered athletes will commence on the 25th August. The official start of the
season is the week after when each individual athlete is registered. Events rotate
over approximately a 6 week period.
A short warm-up session starts at 2:45pm and is held prior to the first event. It is
essential that all athletes begin with this warm-up on time and athletes should be
at the club from 2:30pm for 3:00pm sharp start.
During the athletes’ warm up session each Saturday, there will be some parent
coaching for the field events, so the parents can learn the correct rules and
measuring techniques.
In addition there will be coaching sessions starting at 5:45pm running through to
6:45pm at Windsor Park on Tuesday and Thursday nights. This will be an
important and regular part of our Club program and it is hoped that all Club
members will attend the coaching session where coaches will be present to
instruct. These are included in the fees.
The idea behind the Tuesday and Thursday nights coaching is that event training
will take place. There will be coaches rostered during Saturday competitions so
that all including new athletes can perform the correct technique. It is valuable
to attend either the Tuesdays or Thursdays training to receive professional
coaching. We encourage your child to attend at least one of the coaching
sessions per week.
6Mayne Harriers
We work very closely with Mayne Harriers Athletics Club which also uses Windsor
Park for training on Tuesday and Thursday nights throughout the year.
Mayne Harriers is one of Brisbane’s oldest clubs. They focus mainly on running
events. Their training program starts at 6:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
City North athletes can join their training program for a yearly discounted
training fee of $100, Mayne Harriers operates throughout the entire year.
For further information about Mayne Harriers visit their web site at
www.mayneharriers.org.au
7Standard Events Table
The table below shows all Little Athletics Queensland recognised events. City
North do not offer any of the Cross Country events in the table below.
8Registration Ages for the 2018/2019 Season
Age groups have changed this season from previous years. The cut-off date used
to be September 30th but now LAQ has changed this to December 31st. For
example, if your child is turning 6 this year (2018), they will be in the under 7 age
group. Existing athletes who were born in October, November or December will
be going up 2 age groups this time.
9Fundraising
Fundraising is very important to our Club. Fundraising pays for coaching,
improvements to the Windsor Park ground and provides a sound financial basis
for the Club going forward.
If you are interested in supporting City North Little Athletics Club, please consider
becoming a sponsor. For more information, please contact the Centre Manager
or Assistant Centre Manager.
Uniforms
We recommend that all athletes wear their club uniform at our regular club
competition. The registration patch sewn onto the uniform assists with
identifying athletes when recording results in our result management software.
Full Club uniform must be worn by City North Athletes when competing in Little
Athletic Association events other than our regular club competitions. Athletes
may be disqualified if they are not dressed in the full uniform. The full uniform
comprises shirt and shorts.
When you register, you will receive a registration patch, an age group patch and
various sponsor patches. The registration patch is to be attached to the front of
the polo shirt, so that it is clearly visible when the shirt is tucked in.
The age group patch is to be attached to the left sleeve and sewn on three sides
to form a “U” shaped pocket. This pocket serves to hold the athlete’s event
tickets for the day.
The Coles patch is to be placed on the front of the polo short on the right hand
side of the chest.
Should you require a uniform item in time for an Association event, please
enquire a few weeks in advance to ensure the particular size item is available.
Cost of Uniforms:
Polo Shirts $40.00
Boys Shorts $30.00
Girl’s Bike Pants $30.00
Caps & Hats $15.00
10Club Communications

Apple and Android devices, and contains a wealth of information about club
events, news, and track and field information. To install TeamApp on your phone
follow these steps.
1. Download TeamApp from the Apple or Google Play app store.
2. Sign up to Team App. You will be sent an email to confirm your

4. Choose your applicable access group(s) and in the reason/supporting
documentation field please provide the name(s) of your children who are
registered members of our club.

sign up and view our TeamApp website online.
City North has a regularly updated Facebook site. Please like it at,
www.facebook.com/CityNorthLittleAthletics
Our Internet website can be found at,
www.citynorthlas.asn.au
TeamApp communications are supplemented by periodic email newsletters.
A noticeboard is located outside the canteen and each week will display the
Program of Events for the afternoon, as well as details of coming events and
carnivals. Please check the noticeboard each week.
11A whiteboard is positioned neared the entry to the oval and contains information
regarding current competition and training activities.
Toilets
Toilets are located inside the Clubhouse. Athletes must notify their Age Marshall
before going to the toilet.
Canteen
The canteen is located inside the Clubhouse and is open every Saturday
afternoon together with a sausage sizzle, selling a variety of drinks and snacks for
athletes and families. The proceeds from the canteen help to cover the costs of
hiring the grounds, paying the coaches and keeping City North Little Athletics as
affordable as possible. Please be supportive of the canteen.
Parking
All parents are requested to park in the carpark off the Grafton Street entrance
to the grounds. Parking behind the Windsor Bowls Club is exclusively for the use
of the Bowls Club and Windsor Croquet Club patrons. Your co-operation is
appreciated.
12Family Involvement
Parents, Guardians, and Friends play an integral role in the success and
enjoyment of Little Athletics.
The Saturday program requires a large number of officials and parent volunteers
every week to run it properly, and for this reason parent involvement is essential.
It will be a rostered system for setting up the oval each Saturday afternoon and
for running the ‘Age Marshalling’ groups. It is essential that everyone takes their
part here so that the afternoon can run smoothly.
Parents, please remember that WE ARE NOT A CHILD MINDING ORGANISATION.
A parent or guardian must be in attendance throughout the centre competitions
on Saturday and at all training sessions. We understand that work and other
commitments may prevent you from staying every Saturday, but it is essential
that your child has another adult who has agreed to take responsibility for them.
This is not only necessary in case of accident or illness, but the program may
finish early for many reasons - rain, small numbers etc. If this occurs, it is not fair
that Club committee members are left minding your child long after the day's
events are over. It is also distressing for the child to be left after everyone else
has gone.
Adults can help out in the following ways,
1. Age Marshalling
Every week there is a need for adults to accompany each age group of girls
and boys to each event to record the children’s performances. This is
referred to as “Age Marshalling.” This operates on a rostered system.
2. Assisting at Events
Numerous assistants are required to successfully run each event. Assistants
may be required for,
Raking and spiking at Long Jump pits
Spiking and retrieving at Discus, Shot put and Javelin
Adjusting High Jump bars
Place judging
Timekeeping
Setup and pack up of the competition
13 Canteen and more…
3. Assisting at Regional Competitions such as Regional Relay Day and Regional
Championships where parent involvement is crucial. Please see Team
Managers about how you can help.
4. Setting up beforehand
Each Saturday at 1:30, families will be rostered on to set up the oval. We will
need parents with a tow bar on a vehicle so that equipment can be
transported to the correct positions on the field. Two coaches will be
assisting too.
Please refer to “Fees” section for further information regarding the Arena and
Field set up Volunteer Bonds.
14Code of Behaviour
1. Encourage children to participate if they are interested, however, if a child is
not willing, do not force him/her.
2. Focus upon the child’s efforts, rather than the overall outcome of the event.
This assists the child in setting realistic goals related to his/her ability by
reducing the emphasis on winning.
3. Teach children that an honest effort is as important as victory, so that the
result of each event is accepted without undue disappointment.
4. Encourage children to always participate according to the rules.
5. Never ridicule or yell at a child for making a mistake or losing an event.
Provide constructive criticism in private.
6. Remember children are involved in Little Athletics for their enjoyment, not
yours.
7. If you disagree with an official, raise the issue through the appropriate
channels rather than questioning the official’s judgment and honesty in
public. Remember, most officials give their time and effort voluntarily for
your child’s involvement.
8. Make every athletics competition meeting serve as a training ground for life
and as a basis for good mental and physical health.
9. Be aware of your child’s behaviour that he/she is not instigating
physical/verbal misconduct towards others. Such repeated offences will not
be tolerated and may result in dismissal from the club. Please notify the
manager if your child is a target of such bullying so it can be eradicated
immediately and peacefully. Your support here is essential to maintain the
current tone of the club.
The above code of behaviour is aimed at establishing an “across the board”
pattern of behaviour that should be considered of paramount importance to all
parents, coaches and officials under the ideals and philosophies outlined in the
aims and objective of the Little Athletics movement throughout Australia, which
15we feel will greatly assist in bringing up children in a FAMILY environment of FUN,
FITNESS and the establishment of friendships.
POLICY POSITION STATEMENT CHILD PROTECTION
Every person and organisation bound by this policy must always place the safety
and welfare of children above all other considerations.
City North acknowledges that our committee, staff and volunteers provide a
valuable contribution to the positive experiences of our athletes. A volunteer is a
person who is employed by another person not for financial reward but who may
receive reimbursement for out of pocket expenses.
City North aims to ensure this continues and to protect the safety and welfare of
its athletes. Several measures will be used to achieve this such as:
Prohibiting any form of abuse against children
Providing opportunities for our athletes to contribute to and provide
feedback on our program development
Carefully selecting and screening people whose role requires them to
have regular contact with children. [Screening procedures as per state
legislation are outlined in the appendix
http://laq.org.au/Portals/47/Documents/Policies/Child%20Protection_Ri
sk%20Management_Endorsed%2013%20Sept%202006.pdf ]
Ensuring our codes of conduct, particularly for roles associated with
junior sport, are promoted, enforced and reviewed
Providing procedures for raising concerns or complaints and Providing
education and/or information to those involved in our sport on child
abuse and child protection.
City North requires that any child who is abused, or anyone who reasonably
suspects that a child has been or is being abused by someone within our sport,
reports it immediately to the Centre’s nominated Grievance Officer – Kylie
Nyssen.
All allegations of child abuse will be dealt with promptly, seriously, sensitively
and confidentially. A person will not be victimised for reporting an allegation of
child abuse and the privacy of all persons concerned will be respected. If anyone
bound by this policy reasonably suspects that a child is being abused by his or her
16parent/s, they are advised to contact the Commission for Children and Young
People and Child Guardian or the relevant government department for youth,
family and community services in Queensland.
17Centre Rules
1. A Parent or Guardian must be in attendance at all times on Saturdays and
Tuesday and Thursday training.
2. Swearing and displays of bad sportsmanship will not be accepted. Pushing,
shoving and rough play will not be tolerated.
3. Handling of equipment – to prevent accidents and injury, athletes must not
handle equipment except under the instruction of a club official.
4. No athlete is allowed into the equipment shed unless authorised by an
official.
5. Athletes must check that the running track is clear and that no race is in
progress before crossing.
6. Athletes must walk behind throwing circles – shot puts and discus can cause
serious injury. The only shot put, discus and javelin throwing permitted is in
the circle (or throwing area for javelin) during the competition; not outside
while waiting for your turn.
7. The javelin area is out of bounds to all athletes except those competing.
8. QLAA policy – Smoking or alcohol are not permitted in all areas of the
competition arena (track & field), or spectator areas during any Little
Athletics Competitions.
9. Shoes must be worn for all events. Shoes must be sports shoes NOT thongs
or sandals. Spikes - refer Spike Safety.
10. It is essential that children bring a hat, sunscreen and water bottle each
Saturday. A jumper may be necessary during the early part of the season, as
it can get quite cool towards the end of the afternoon. Please refer to the
QLAA Sun Safe Policy displayed at the registration desk.
11. Children must not climb on equipment or on fences or other items around
the ground.
See the QLAA Code of Conduct at www.laq.org.au
18Training
Regular training will be held throughout the year on Tuesday and Thursday nights
at Windsor Park from 5:45pm to 6:45pm. Accredited hand-picked coaches will be
in attendance. There will be training in a variety of events each night. Athletes
should attend at least one training session per week.
All athletes are encouraged to attend training regularly. There will also be relay
training prior to the Regional Relays both during the week and on Saturday
competitions. If your child is competing in Regional Relays, it is an expectation
they practise with their teams frequently in lead up to the competition so the
whole team can benefit. Failure to adhere to this may result in the athlete being
replaced by another athlete. Coaches will keep a list of attendances.
Spike Safety
U6 to U10 are not allowed to wear spiked running shoes with or without blanks.
U11 & U12
may wear spikes in all laned track events, all jumping events, and javelin.
any spike shoe without spikes attached, may be worn in unlaned events.
U13 to U17
may wear spikes in all laned and unlaned track events, (excluding walks),
jumping events and javelin.
For all eligible athletes,
Spikes must be carried to the start line at track events
Spikes must be removed at the finish line at track events
Spikes must be carried to field events and removed upon completion of
the event.
Any athlete who arrives at the track recording table in spikes will not have their
performance recorded. Parents, please help us to enforce this safety rule.
19Personal Bests
The Recorder keeps a record of each athlete’s performance in each event. As
athletes improve their performances will receive stars on their tickets to indicate
their new personal best performances (PB’s). If an athlete achieves four PB’s on
the same Saturday, (three PB’s for Under 6 – 8 inclusive) they will receive a free
drink from the canteen.
Simply present your four event tickets (with the stars on them) to the track
recording table. Show your four PB’s tickets to the canteen to receive your free
drink.
This encouragement reward is achievable for all athletes as the only person they
have to compete against are themselves.
The personal best that are accrued throughout the season begin a week after the
individual’s athlete date of registration to the week prior to the Club
Championships at the conclusion of the season.
Club Championships
The club championships are held at the end of the season on Saturday 23rd
February and Saturday 2nd March. Each age group compete in a total of 10
events over the two Saturdays and the points accumulated from these add for a
total score which then allocate the places for all the competitors. The first 4
place getters in each age group is awarded with medallions on awards night.
20Centre Records
The Club recognises Home and Away Records for City North Athletes.
A Home record is the best recorded performance by a City North Athlete at a
Little Athletics event held at Windsor Park. This includes regular City North Club
competitions, Little Athletics Regional Relays or Championships, and/or any Little
Athletics Australia competition event held at Windsor Park.
An Away Record is the best recorded performance by a City North Athlete at any
Little Athletics Australia registered event. Away records were new for the
2016/2017 season and have been initialised based on historical home records.
The recorded performance must be published in the Event results on the Little
Athletics Queensland (LAQ) website (www.laq.org.au). Results which are not
published on the LAQ website are not eligible for consideration.
To have an away record recognised, an athlete or their parent/carer must
complete an “Away Record recognition form” with supporting evidence and
provide this to the Chief Recorder. The onus on having an Away performance
recognised is the sole responsibility of the athlete and/or their parents and
carers.
City North members should understand that as a new category of best
performances, the recorded Away records may change from time to time as
historical submissions are received for recognition.
McDonalds Achievement Cards
For the 2018/2019 City North Little Athletics is continuing the result management
system that records all athletes’ performances over the season. This information
will be available online at the ResultsHQ website at
https://resultshq.com.au/login. This system will be progressively used to record
athlete achievement levels. Athletes may continue to use the McDonald’s
achievement cards as noted below.
At the completion of every event an athlete competes in at City North club
competition, they will be given a performance ticket stating the time or distance
achieved for that event. These tickets should be retained to enable your
child/ren to keep track of their performance and see whether or not they are
21improving. They can be glued or attached to the Little Athletics book distributed
at the start of the season.
On sign on day you should receive a McDonalds Achievement Card, which is
either Blue or Pink (boy or girl).
Results should be checked against the table of performances at the back of the
McDonalds card to determine what level of achievement they are at. If a child
reaches an achievement milestone, colour in the appropriate circle beside the
event in the event levels section. For example, if a child achieves the Red
performance level the first time they compete in an event, then you colour in the
Green and the Red event level circles.
When the child achieves GREEN, then RED, then BLUE event levels for all events
in which the child competes, colour in the appropriate circle in the groups
awards section.
As the child achieves all the Green, then RED, then BLUE Group Awards for all
groups the child competes in, the child can hand in the card to the Centre
Recorder at each of these levels and receive special achievement awards
including McDonalds vouchers.
22Association Competitions
